The summary report and detailed reports show student usage of EchoSystem content.

- A chart of week-by-week usage for the year ("This Year By Week") or day-by-day usage for the current month ("This Month By Day")
- A list of frequently accessed courses and presentations
- Detailed reports are generated on request. Usage data is exported to a .pdf file.
What is a "View"?
The reports show "most viewed courses", "most viewed presentations" and other statistics. But what user action constitutes a "view"?
A view is recorded whenever a user visits a URL to view a product. If you authenticate or authorize users before allowing access to the URL, the user must be authenticated or authorized before the view is recorded.

To navigate to the summary report, select Reports > Summary.
The first tab, This Year By Week, plots captures and views for each week of the year on a histogram. At the bottom of the page, the Most Viewed Courses and Most Viewed Presentations are ranked according to the most frequently accessed content for the year. Percentages are figured against total views.
The second tab, This Month By Day, plots the day-by-day usage for the current month. At the bottom of the page, the Most Viewed Courses and Most Viewed Presentations are ranked according to the most frequently accessed content for the month. Percentages are figured against total views.
